My resin printer was powered off with resin in the vat for about 7 months. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and I woke up to a successful print.

My inkjet printer was powered off for 2 weeks. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and was instantly disappointed with a streaky, blotchy output. Running a clean cycle just made the output worse.

Why are 2D printers so terrible despite decades of development? What are some 2D printers this community has had good interactions with/would recommend?

    They’re not great.

    My dad signed up somehow years ago. He doesn’t even have a printer anymore. He swears he’s canceled, but I keep seeing a monthly bill. They aren’t even sending him ink. Thanks for reminding me that I need to get the bank to stop charges.

      That sucks to hear. In my case I am not paying them a dime and still getting free prints out of it.
